PS4 day-one update adds USB headset compatibility
Out of the box, PS4 will lack support for third-party bluetooth and USB headsets for in-game or group chat, but a launch-day system update will enable USB headsets.
This is an advance on the firm's original messaging, as it had previously pledged to add USB headset support with a post-launch update.
Bluetooth headsets will remain incompatible, and there's no word on whether that may change with a later update.
PS4 firmware update 1.50 will enable a long list of major system features, and is available to download now for US PS4s. The update can be written to a USB stick in advance of the console's US launch on Friday, which will allow for a quicker update process once the owners get their machines home.
The PS4 will need to be placed in Safe Mode to install the update via USB. Head through here for full instructions.

iShootLikeWade What about the pulse elite? It's USB... but wireless.
You can have a wireless receiver in USB form.

KAQ Well that's good :) can't wait to see what else they are going to add :) even thoughi think they are making a big mistake with the update system , i can see there being jailbreaks released in the first year maybe even 6 months :/
I'm hoping that modders never actually find a way to jailbreak the Ps4.
Kinda ruins most of the fun in my eyes.

Woof-CP That is definitely good to know!
Pc headsets wont work on ps/xb. Strange but some turtle beach ps/xb headsets will work on pc though.
Nearly all console headsets work on PC.
I'm sure using the Astro Mix amp, nearly all PC headsets will work.

USB + Optical cable I would imagine.
I don't think proper audio goes through a USB cable.

-Mark I'm going to have to find a new headset now that I'm switching over to the PS4.
I probably won't get one for awhile because the console and games put a nice hole in my pocket.
A headset really isn't the first thing on my mind seeming that there will be a variety of games for the console by the time i pick it up so that is my priority
